@@g_ncayTim in shambles right now reading this.
@@g_ncay usually they do quite a bit of color mapping to make the colors more visually engaging. This one looks like they didn't even bother and honestly no need to
Well said
As an old printer engineer, I believe it's neither bi-fold or tri-fold, but z-fold...technically ;)
too bad Samsung got to that name first :)
So if it was a tri-fold both sides would fold inward like a wallet?
Are you samay Raina?
@@EwigeSchlangenkraftthat would be a bi-fold
apparently Samsung had the Z-fold trademarked, so there.. 😔

it's just a Huawei phone lol
A future where phones break if you breathe on them too hard

Wtf is tapl doing here and why have u not posted wtf
I mean it is better than some companies that add a button and call it a day.
At Apple there is no innovation of any kind... well, I do believe that they have finally added a little button whose function already existed...
That is why they lobby to make sure innovative manufacturers never reach the US! 👍🏽😉

The Chinese idiom “一波三折” or tri fold can be translated into English as “full of twists and turns” or “a series of ups and downs.” It refers to a situation that encounters multiple obstacles or difficulties before reaching a resolution, often implying an unexpected or challenging process.
yeah the tri fold name basically comes from that. the product to huawei is a result of their struggles

You didn't have to go this hard 😂
😂😂😂😂😂
One of the biggest hindrance to adoption of folding phones is the lack of app compatibility with the square aspect ratio. Great to see a proper 16:9 and it'll be interesting to see what becomes of it
Exactly my fold 3 rarely get full screen use when using apps or streaming films.
100% I went through 2 version of the Galaxy Fold and loved it until the apps started driving me crazy. It actually pushed me from Android to iPhone for the first time in my life. Will just wait for Apple to create the revolutionary folding phone. :-)
The creases look awful tbf
Tbh it really isnt that big of a deal for most users. Its not really about the number of apps that support 4:3, but the number of apps you actually use that supports it, and a lot of the biggest, most popular apps can handle it just fine
Imo the much bigger problem is how bad a 4:3 screen is for watching 16:9 video, and of course price
To me it's the price lol... That, and probably the absolute nonresistance to dust and debris. I would love something like this that has a 6.4-6.7 in screen on the outside, then you flip it out like this for maximum screen... However, it needs to be at least 1/3rd the price for me to even consider, and then have slightly more resistance to dust and debris from absolutely destroying the thing... Bonus points for a tougher "flexible glass" that doesn't just scratch at a level 3 moes pick and maybe some semblance of water resistance.
Seems like Huawei is really stepping up their game. That phone looks amazing.
An amazingly bad and expensive product. Basically you shouldn't go to the beach with it or sand and water will kill it. Oh, and don't put it down on a couch or you will accidentally sit on and break the weak hinges. Don't drop it, or tap it too hard either.
@@g43654Innovation requires sacrifice.
@@g43654 It's almost like it's the first generation of the product. Give it time. I don't any other company with a Tri fold phone. Because they can't yet. At least we're seeing something different for a change. An extra button what a joke that was.
@@g43654 So... Don't do anything you aren't supposed to do to a phone?
@@g43654 isn't that the same with any phone ?
I had two Huawei phones before the ban, best phones I’ve ever had. My second one lasted me 4 years with 0 issues. Ended up replacing it with the s24 because of the ban. Still miss using them.
I still use my p30 pro which I pre ordered back in 2019.. never had any issues .. no lag nothing.. just changed battery couple of times thts all .. this is the best quality phone I have ever used.
It also has a cool feature like answer call by voice, which I still miss in my latest phone 📱
Same, had a Mate 10 Pro and P30 Pro, best phones I ever had. Now I have a Pixel, I really don't like it, gonna change soon.
And it only cost you sacrificing your identity and all personal data and usage history to the CCP to build a profile on you and everyone else dumb enough to buy whoarewe phones
same, i used huawei before changing to samsung thanks to the ban and it lasted for 4 years, and the only thing that broke in the phone was the screen. but the best thing that it was only a mid-range model, and the chassis was actually slightly bent because i hit it too hard when gaming lol.
i think i'm gonna get another huawei when they managed to make one with 5nm chip.
Straight out of a SciFi movie. Tech from the future today. What a time to be alive!
Who would hqve guess that China would be the one that lead us to thecnology innovations nowdays
@@AIejandroide hahahahahahaah!

@@AIejandroideAnyone who pays attention to modern tech trends, most likely.
@@mike0six yes, and where is the Samsung tri-fold? Or Samsung is just good at making patents and that's it?
This feels like the end state for folding phones. So much about it makes so much sense. It means you one needs one screen, not a big screen and a "cover" screen, like most foldables. And fully unfolded, it gives you a tablet sized screen with an appropriate aspect ratio, not some weird square screen like most foldables.
tech isnt there yet for durabilty a few more years
Add a keyboard and you got a basic computer to send email and edit documents. China is living in the future, NIO cars have swappable batteries instead of charging them, Tri fold phones while here we are still stuck with iphone and tesla old technology.
There is a next step...
A 5 or 6 inch tube like a cigar cylinder where the screen pulls-out and stays flat. The battery (etc.) is in the cylinder, which what you hold it by. Will fit easily in breast pockets etc. Companies are working on that form factor.
@@johnpublicprofile6261 Im picturing a phone like that and it's making me think it could work, especially if the materials science for the screen aren't there yet, instead of needing to replace a full phone, it would just be the screen itself and the rest of it would be intact hopefully making repairs cheaper.
That’s exactly what I thought. I always found the book-type foldables wasteful because they have two fully functional screens that you do not use simultaniously. Huawei has previously experimented with the monoscreen foldable but the durability was always a weakness. This looks like a good next step.
I had a Huawei once, and I loved the camera. However, I was worried of Australia banning it because of USA. As soon as I have an opportunity, I will purchase a Huawei again.
My Honor got rejected to join the celluer network since the 3G network switched off, because of it uses 3G for emergency calls. what a damn reason
If you are not in China, you should be careful. Huawei may not be particularly useful. Especially recently, my friend told me that his contract mobile phone was also disabled in Australia
I honestly didn't think something like this would be made for another few years. It's impressive.
Funny thing is samsung had a prototype with tri fold 2 years ago
At the rate we're going, I would say we will be pretty close to true foldable displays in the next decade.
@@Retronyx its easy to make one-offs, somehow bringing it into production is the crazy part
It’s breaks really fast though
😂 it's literally a Huawei Mate XS and Mate XS 2 combined
"10 inch display, reasonably in my pocket" if you told that to 18 year old me I'd demand the name of your dealer.
Should've told your current age as well xd
Back alley at Susan's Pizza in town, the guy with the lip stud
It's called a grower, bruh
The price of this phone is the only thing dropping faster than the price of a home in their country. It uses a five year old chipset that wasn't very good to begin with. They keep saying that it's better than apple when the apple models hold the top three spots in their country. Almost all of their top gov officials use apple phone. There are videos showing that the screen was broken while starting it up for the first time. If the screen breaks they refuse to fix it even when under warranty. They only made a million of them for a reason. Fail!
😂@@Jonathan.D
Next year, Huawei will probably add another fold and turn it into a tent
Mmmm that sounds familiar

Imagine how much better the iPhone 16 Pro, Galaxy S24U, and Pixel 9 would've been today if Huawei wasn't banned and lost access to chips for 5 years.
They said market freedom, then they shut down Cuba. Nothing new under the sun
All three would literally be the same because no one buys Huawei's in those three companies biggest markets. Paired with the fact innovation is dead at Apple and Samsung, with it rapidly draining out of Google's Pixel team, I doubt much would be different. At best, maybe Samsung would take their foldables seriously again.
Imagine how much data the CCP would have collected if Huawei wasn't banned

Was just in China and visited Huawei/Xiaomi/Oppo retail stores dotted in major malls, they are out with so many bifold and trifold phones with much improved creases than those early generation models. It’s now a serious consideration for the compactness of an EDC smartphone. Quality wise, they are not differentiated with those from Apple. The only significant factor is with Huawei’s own HarmonyOS. Played with v4.2.0 and it’s really smooth and has many interface improvements over Android. By my real life assessment, this trade war on China by the US administrations really has backfired on the US. The sooner the US learns that it’ll be displaced to be world #2, and at some point #3 by India, the better it is. Screwing with a strategy that expects an unrealistic #1 is completely counterproductive and is just accelerating the downfall. Much wiser to strategise for a realistic solid #2 and try to extract maximum national interest in that position.
The task of the United States as the world's number one is to suppress the second... It just happens to be China. If India is second. It won't let you go either

iPhone in 2024: We've added a camera button and now all your photos will have slight motion blur!
I mean, one of the phones you're comparing *is* a USD$3,500 phone being sold *in China*. If Apple were to sell a base for 3 grand, they'd be laughed to death no matter what they do, and I'm not even talking about factoring Huawei's pricing in American consumer prices to get a real reference to how much this would cost in North America.
@@diegofkda199funny enough this phone is struggling to sell for for resellers in China and some have even bought them for 2/3 of the price bc the market for these phones has crashed pretty hard.
@@diegofkda199the cheapest variant costs 2.7 grand. So its about twice the price of a 15 pro max 256gb
If they can get this to an affordable pricepoint and make it more durable, I could see this form-factor becoming the norm.
@@diegofkda199 it's not about comparing this to an iPhone, of course you cannot compare the two like you detailed; it's about comparing approaches... (and this is coming from an Apple user) Apple's idea of innovation is... I literally don't know anymore, the biggest thing we had was the Dynamic Island (camera button is disgustingly ill-conceived, so I won't even categorize it as innovation), while we have people out there constantly pushing the limit in both hardware and software. All I'll say is that it's a damn shame Huawei has the GMS problem
I'm glad you're reviewing this device
More like a sneak peak
You know it's bad when apple fanboys are complaining
This is the most exciting phone I've seen in YEARS. As for the weaknesses, I never actually use phone speakers except for ringtone and notifications so it doesn't matter that they're bad. If I want good audio I use headphones or a speaker anyway. And the price is steep. But that's something that can come down with time. Along with scratch resistance on the screen and how prominent the fold lines are. This form factor should be the new standard for folding phones. It's actually amazing for video and gaming content.
Please watch what chinese netizens are saying about it. They’re definitely not praising it. 😂
@@alexxC37 Why not praise it? Most comments are saying awesome.🧐
Getting pretty close to having an useable office computer in a pocket.
I have dual opinion about this phone, it's impressive and in many use cases it's perfect phone where all my needs are fulfilled by this one device, but on the other hand having 2 devices, standard phone and tablet with thicker bezels is just more comfortable and I don't have to make tradeoffs in screen durability, visible crises, and battery size, so my opinion is 50:50, great concept device but still needs a lot of work and tech advancements.
Always great to see your balanced reviews and so glad that you didn't tear down the phone just for the sake of it - considering I just saw a couple of videos do just that. It really is a marvel of technology.
This is exactly what I want. Incredible product.
incredible on the outside ,inside it use weak 7nm chip and a buggy OS ,got the look but not much use
And Jerryrigeverythings durability test just proved exactly why you don't want it.
Good luck with $3000 junk after couple months
An incredibly bad product.
Two things:
1) the second I saw the first foldables, I wanted this to happen. It's the next logical step, and it's so much closer to "no compromises" than current foldables. Not perfect, of course, but I kinda hate square screens. It's literally all in one, I freaking love it.
2) When you open it the "wrong" way, why not just auto-open the camera in that mode that uses the main cameras for selfies? Kills two birds with one stone: it makes it obvious that you've opened the phone the other way, and it speeds up the process of switching to that camera mode if you want to use it regularly.
Huawei in 2024: adding 2 extra screens.
Apple in 2024: adding 2 extra buttons.
Feeds two birds with one scone
i have to say the first part of your argument. its a great device dont get me wrong. ill give it an 8
- because its china only, they cant use Snapdragon (qualcomm chip) so its slower (about the same as 2020 chip snap 888)
- the reason samsung doesnt do folding outward like this is because when you put it in your pocket, the flexible display is EXPOSED (unlike the book-like fold samsung use). so there will be a time where one of the 3 screen that is exposed 24/7 will be scratched VERY easily in pocket (compared to when you pocket Samsung Z fold and the outside is a proper gorilla glass phone) because we cant control a little grain of sand/gravel got into your pocket
its a good attempt at inovation but until we find a material that is flexible and scratch around the same level as glass, folding outwards isnt practical in the slightest
Thin screens and one fold the wrong way, kaput your phone is just an expensive brick, it also costs a lot to fix the screen. Y'all not familiar with the Chinese market won't understand the issues this phone has.
@@canthandlethetruth-djioh no, if i break it - it breaks??
I dailied a Huawei phone in the US for 3 years. It was the P30 Pro, making it the last before the Google/US ban, meaning I could get all the normal apps. It was missing a few radios, so sometimes reception was a little worse, but most times it was fine. I ultimately switched because all the US carriers now require you to have an iPhone, Samsung, or Pixel (or one of the cheap phones they sell you directly) to use features like WiFi calling, even if the phone supports this natively (which the P30 does).
The thing I miss most about it was that it is the only phone I have ever used that basically had no battery worries. I just never thought about it, and in the 3 years I had it, only twice did it get near to running out: once, when taking several hundred (a thousand?) pictures at a show, and once towards the end when the battery was getting weaker, and I used it for an hour long video conference while taking hundreds more pics at a show. Huawei does pretty aggressively close apps in the background, but this really works to extend battery life to last 2 days or more. I wish more manufacturers would copy this bit.
Another cool feature (before AI became the latest trend) was the camera's AI subject/scene identification. It could literally tell a bicycle from a motorcycle, and would tell you what the item was on screen. It would then optimize the settings for that scene. Also, the night-mode beat all other brands, as it could see in almost total darkness due to the RYYB sensor (versus the standard RGGB sensor in pretty much every phone), and super-sampling. It was one of the first phones with periscope zoom built in as well, long before Samsung.
@@Afy62 bro he doesnt say 3 years ago he says he "used it for 3 years"
I am still daily driving my P30 Pro and the only issue I have had is the fact the the screen broke a month ago. Had to have it replaced fast, so I went for a knockoff brand the next day. The screen quality is not the same and the fingerprint reader has some issues now. That said, it still supports everything I need it to do, the responsiveness is the same as ever and the camera quality is still amazing. Huawei does indeed make some amazing flagship phones, but the sanctions make people forget how good they still are.
Same here. Best phone ever. Still today I hold it and I think it was too advanced for 2019. Now I switched to Honor Magic 6 Pro. Couldn't be happier. Battery life is 2 days.
@@Fredrare100% agree. Consider buying Honor Magic 6 Pro. I switched from P30 Pro to this one and I am super happy. It is the natural successor
I loved my P30 Pro, then I fell in love with foldables and bought a Galaxy Z Fold3. That died (the infamous flex cable defect), and in between phones I went back to the Huawei. Since then I gave Samsung another shot with the Fold5, but I still feel the P30 Pro was hands down the best all-rounder phone I've ever had. In Europe, phone signal is better than any other phone I've had, the camera still had some features superior to my Fold5, and the battery life was great - even 4 years later when I had to move back to it.
The most honest reviews as always. This is why I Marques' content.

This phone maybe looks cool, but once the novelty wears off, it's gonna be a pain in the ahh to use this. Not only it's too heavy to put in your pocket, you also have to unfold it every time you pull out your phone for simple task. The repair cost is gonna be stupidly high and the quality for long term use is ... questionable.
Not gonna lie, this looks really amazing and fact that its that thin is arguably the best thing about this product. Its been a while when i saw a product and my immediate thoughts are this looks freaking amazing. I want to use it. Last time i was this excited to see a product was in 2013 when Nokia launched Lumia 1020. People went bonkers with that 41MP camera with Zeiss Lens and Xenon Flash.

My Nokia 1020 is in the drawer and sometimes I will charge it😂. Nokia was my favorite now is Huawei.
I do hope that now that Huawei has managed to produce a tri-fold, this will propel others manufacturers to try it, as a visually impaired user, i adore the idea of being able to look at something on my phone sized screen and if i want to see more detail I can open the phone up to full screen, this would be wonderful for instagram.
I doubt it will push anybody, apple got people clapping for adding another button, that's where we are at man. I doubt there is people out there who even noticed
@@kaydend5192 Apple isn't at the cutting edge of screen technology though, they're software based, Samsung, even Google are doing foldables because they recognise that we are hitting maximum brick phone, people aren't changing phone every year as there isn't anything new on the hardware side.
Or wonderful for Minecraft 😎
This is amazing. It looks like it will be really fun to use. If I am fortunate enough, I would like to own this some day in the future.
Outstanding job, Huawei! What a brilliant feat of engineering. Totally deserves a smartphone award!

You can install Google services yourself. It just doesn't come with them out of the box
very easy to install G services.
@@andyhewellIt’s a bit harder than that sine US has banned Huawei from accessing any American tech
what doesn't kill you makes you stronger-huawei
That's a really impressive piece of tech. As an early adopter of the foldables, I would love to take one for a spin.
Huawei in 2024: adding 2 extra screens.
Apple in 2024: adding 2 extra buttons.
This format is actually really cool. I’d buy one
The cases and screen protectors are gonna be fun to put on
No way there's gonna be more than first party accessories
there isn't lol, the manufacturer said there wont be either@danboy12342
Just got bareback. It's fun as always.
otterbox having seizure right now
Even the official case is hideous.
If these were still available in australia i would 100% get one, my biggest gripe with the folds is that the aspect ratio is always funky, this solves that issue
At least Melbourne still has Huawei store, saw one in the Glen Shopping centre
do u have any idea how expensive it is? Good thing about stated sponsored company is they can do burn any amount of cash they want to push out tech, but the downfall is if they fail it's after their head
@@yifuwu3261went there yesterday, they dont have it on display.

Huawei: Tri-fold phone
US: That's a national security issue
LMAO SO FUCKING TRUE
😂😂😂💯
😭💀
Hahahaha
You guys should be weary of china and its hold over big company like huawei.
Its is a security risk .
As an Aussie, I bought a Huawei P30 Pro in Nov 2019 and it is still going strong. It was the last Huawei phone in Australia to be Android & Google Play compatible. I definitely understand the embargo 🕵️🇨🇳🕵️, but appreciate the technology and competition of Huawei products.
I have the lite version (since 2019). Had to do a battery replacement as I was gaming with fast charger back during corona. Now it's kinda slow compared to my new flagship, but it still works fine except for the camera
The embargo was like 'wait, only us are allowed to spy on people!'
I have one still going strong. Not planning to replace it anytime soon.
@@noticiasinmundicias I feel ya on that one. I was like, I am pretty sure Google & Meta have more data on me than Huawei.
At the time Huawei were pretty much the fastest selling phone in the world ,they surpassed Samsung and they were on a trajectory to surpass iPhone too , Huwei is technically the only phone that was competing against iPhone even in the US,that would have been good for consumers as iPhone was force to innovate in order to sell but with the ban of Huawai, iPhone has just a monopoly over the US market which means that it is bad for the consumers since they are not force to innovate
That looks absolutely insane!
Love your reviews by the way
US: sanctions
China : Innovation triple fold
US: you started a war!

Hai Apple,try to Learn something like this...from iphone 11 to 16 no changes you have made....but the price?
Love your review been watching for years already keep doing it Thank You Rene
A good piece of tech makes this man happy
WOW, It's really quite impressive, Quality piece of Engineering on both the Hardware and Software
I've been using Huawei Mate xs2 for a year ( a phone with screens on the outside) no case and still no scratches. Impressive tbh
Apple 16 innovation: new action button
Huawei innovation: 3 foldable screens
A lovely piece of tech. Thanks for introducing and peace. ❤
This is the only fold that I actually approve of. 16:9 aspect ratio is the way to consume content in over 90% of SM and media consumption platforms; this just makes sense. The other folding (dual folding - no pun intended) phones are just a fancy way to see bigger bezels on videos.
This thing is also a dual fold (🫤), so any aspect ratio works fine on this. Too bad it’s not global.
Agree 100%. The Fold 5 is a great daily driver but the way people defend the square drives me bananas. We're barely half way through figuring out the best design.
I phone: same features but name calling 13, 14 , 15 ,16 , 17 -----++++++++?
Trifold I phone : may be I phone 120
This thing may available in Europe next year@@ranjithk9150
Exactly, I never saw a point to the dual folding phones, besides maybe reading.
I knew Marques couldn't miss this phone for the world. Quality videos as always
Best innovative product of the year 🎉
might be the most interesting phone for me since the first iphone release
Couldn’t imagine using it daily and not breaking it and at that price…but that’s not really the point. It’s an engineering marvel, a piece of art and a proof of concept for sure!
LOL at 4:58 when Marques scroll Chinese domestic Tiktok: "Americans think they can blow up the Three Gorges Dam and China would be wiped out, they are dead wrong". 🤣
why is no one talking about that 😭😭
@@Beats-ns3tw Americans talking about China never brings anything to any debate, I'm glad no one noticed 🙏

2:57 “Why stop halfway when you are just one more fold away from greatness” 😂😂😂
Yes! I have been waiting to see your opinion on this!
Apple claims that it has tri-fold, too. Just get 3x iphone 16, duct-tape them together to make an Apple tri-fold . . . . magic, right?
Granulation! It is your best review so far. Because you don't have any reference Favourite for it. So it is a real objective view. 😉
Can I try folding it?
No Zack, leave that baby alone.
HUAWEI watch D2 also deserves your review and appreciation, what a technology inside
Thank you Marques for such a wonderful review!
love the tech!... phone is awesome, super thin! But not something you can just throw in your purse or pocket. The screen is plastic and scratches even with fingernails, and a bit of dust / dirt in hinges or low temperatures impede folding. Idea of having a huge foldable screen in such a small form factor is amazing, even if only in theory, since it is a chore to fold and unfold, and when closed it is just a thick heavy 6 inch phone. still amazing first generation idea.
I can't wait to tri it.
I'll see myself out.
lol
🤣ok this was epic.
very self-aware, very dem..... ok i'll see myself out
Man, I wish Huawei has the colors of the iPhone 16
They literally have 2 freaking folds on the OLED and is the bleeding edge of technology and this guy is still stuck at iphone colours. I understand how Apple is still in business after selling the same thing over and over again. It's because of people like these. @@BrunoDias1234
That’s nuts… and awesome… thank you for going to the trouble of getting one and sharing the experience!
And then you have Apple thinking that moving icons in your homescreen is revolutionary XD
Ye and this dude in the video did not say anything about the outdated chip in this Z fold, and poor quality of stolen from Samsung technology of folding screen. A lot of people complain that screen stops working after using it for a while.
@@РукиТрясуки How much did you get to post this? Samsung don't even have the technology.
@@rexyuan6508 lol google Samsung Z flip phone
First time I saw your video. I subscribed right away. Great presentation.
I've always believed the Trifold Phone to be the pinnacle of smartphone technology.
I'm really glad to see this!
previous years: we remove buttons to innovate
latest years: we add buttons to innovate as well wtf...........
I have had a Huawei phone in Australia for a couple of years. I bought because it had the best camera at the time, a Leica lens and genuine mechanical plus optical zoom. It has been great so far. Google works fine in this part of the world. The US really needs to get over its fear of China.
Absolutely, competition is always good for the customers
An in South Africa and we have the entire range of Huawei products including their new PURA 70 ultra6
@@noticiasinmundiciasthat’s also one of the reasons why iPhone literally stopped innovating simply because they don’t need to innovate anymore since most young people in the US just buy iPhone and there is no actual competition .Before Huawai was banned ,Huawai was the fastest selling phone on the market , it was selling more then Samsung and they were on track to actually take market share from Apple In the US market which it is insane since Huawai is technically the only phone that was actually starting to compete with Apple in the North American market at the time I was recommending Huawai to a lot of people since it was the best android device out there .
China installs spy tech and doesn't respect privacy.
The fear mongering is a political tool to protect its industries and to prop up the Millitary industry complex. The senators and congress has alot to lose if their investments are going down south.
Innovation on another level, great work Huawei!
Astonishing review absolutely seamless.
I loved their products but it's just sad about the lack of Google services.😢 They always find ways to innovate.
shows how big tech companies trap us.
@@nourishcherish9593There is reason why they dont have google services, and it aint about hindering competititors.
I think it's because it's made for China. if they make it for other countries, it'd probably include it.
Sounds better to me not having Google.
@@noredine No unfortunately, according to the US ban, any of the new released Huawei products will not include Google services (GMS)
Is it a phone? Is it a tablet? No, it’s Huawei’s latest flex!
Literally and figuratively 😂
Now that's a headline!
gud ad copy
At Apple there is no innovation of any kind... well, I do believe that they have finally added a little button whose function already existed...
Phonblet
Never considered a folding phone until this!
What's stopping you with this one? Looking for a more refined model and play services?
Same. If samsung releases something similar, I would get it in a heartbeat.
@@SRC267 It isnt legally sold in the west
This, to me, is the only logical folding phone.
It's a 1st Gen. So hold your hype to buy until the next generation. Battery suxks and all of the screens are still soft.
Honestly, for a first gen, they really came out swinging with this one! Well done Huawei 👏🏻, It seems like this is what folding tech was meant for 👍🏻
Huawei should have named this Z fold 😅 4:39
that is the correct name for this type of fold.. not a tri-fold or duel-fold.. it's a Z fold.
x2
Zzz
So galaxy z fold is actually v fold😂
I've got the Honor Magic V3, it's got the same type of case that comes with it but*only* 2 screens. It's honestly wonderful
I've got the V2 and it's brilliant. I'll probably get the v4 by the time my contract runs out. I can't go back to a candy bar phone now.
@@alexx123ify they delayed the V2 in Europe for so long that it made sense to skip it. Likewise, every other phone looks so dull by comparison, well apart from the XT!
apple: we lead in innovation also apple: we still have 60hz in 2024
I think this phone should be called Z fold 4:39
I bet since Samsung made a concept phone of this and knew they'd eventually do that that was the reason they chose the name Z fold.
NFold / Enfold
@@nicbongowhat about M fold?
@@UhgfchngfvHuawei have the concept first because took them 5 years to develop this phone.
@@Uhgfchngfv Wrong.
Samsung has used 2 named for it.
Galaxy Flex S and Galaxy Z Flex.
This is the coolest thing I have ever seen
For me it comes second to witnessing a 2024 Lamborghini Revuelto in a school zone.
The best case use of 3 screens, while having immersive media real estate in such a compact form factor, Huawei really seats at the peak with this one.
